Dorm Men Must Submit Ration Cards As food rationing draws near er, Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, director of dormitories, has more and more problems, and more and more forms to fill out for the government. At present Mrs. Turnipseed isn’t certain what food will be rationed on what the dormitory will get, but she does know that all students eating in the dorms must turn in their sugar and cof fee rationing books before the end of this month if the dorm is to continue having these sup plies. UO Supply There is a supply of sugar for the dorms stored at the Univer sity, Mrs. Turnipseed said Friday, but even though the sugar has already b^en purchased she must report to the ration board every two months and they tell her what amount she may use from the supply. Students have shown fine co operation concerning the matter, the dorm director said, and sugar bowls have been left on the ta bles with no definite rules having to be enforced concerning its use. Full Report Mrs. Turnipseed has been asked to make a full report to the office of price administration concerning the food used in the dormitories. Dormitories are classed as institutions and will receive rations as such. Questions Questions the OPA have asked include: 1. Number of persons served during December, 1942. 2. Gross dollars revenue from service of food and beverages during December, 1942. 3. The quantity of a list of commodities used during Decem ber, 1942. Quantity 4. The quantity of each of the commodities reported on, cn hand at the close of business, Decem ber 31, 1942.

Battle of Sexes Rages (Continued from page one) students are doing their part and will buy war bonds anyway. Patriotic Another men’s organization agreed with abolishing corsages because they think its the only patriotic thing to do. Individual opinions ranged from “Flowers are a tradition just the same as the senior ball and other large dances,’’ to “For these criti cal times it’s only fair and square that we do away with frivolities.” Don’t Want ’Em One male student said, “When ever many people don’t want something, they do away with it by saying it is a hindrance to the war effort.” “Since we can't have many dec orations at the dance, it would be most suitable to have flowers, if only one small one for the hair, because the loose change used to buy them could be deducted from cokes, movies, etc.,” said one coed. “Friendlier” Another boy said. "Flower’s seem to give a friendlier atmos phere and attitude to a dance.” One coed felt that they should n’t be allowed because of the gas and tires it takes for them to be delivered while another member of the same sex thought that it was a shame to let the florists lose all that business. Red Cross Biggies (Continued from page one) Francisco, connected with the Red Cross of that city, will pre side at the convention, which will last through January 16.

Due to wartime conditions it is important that all medical students take the test at this time, according to Dr. H. B. Yocom, chairman of the pre-medical advisory committee. The aptitude test is required for admission to most American medical colleges, Dr. Yocom ad vised, and draft boards often in sist that pre-med students give some evidence such as passing this test, in order to receive de ferment. Since it is doubtful if special exams will be given during winter or spring terms, this may be the last chance to pass the test during this year. Applications to take the exam should be made at once to Dr. Yocom in room 207 Deady hall.
